MIDWAY ARCADE TREASURES 2 ARTICLES

October 6, 2004 - Last year's release of Midway Arcade Treasures was an incredible hit for the publisher, so much so that the company has offered up a much meatier sequel with Midway Arcade Treasures 2. The pack for 2004 follows up the original's theme of combining nearly two dozen original, classic arcade titles of the 80s and packing them with historical data and developer interviews on a single console disc. The sequel, however, ups the ante with a beefed-up collection of much more contemporary arcade hits, more detailed data on each game, and a much better interface in which to play them. The overall package still isn't quite as over-the-top awesome as, say, a Special Edition DVD flick, but you'd be nuts if you don't see the value Midway's put into this compilation.

August 23, 2004 - The more powerful the systems get, the more frequently the appearance of classic game compilations. It takes the power of a PlayStation 2, Xbox, or GameCube to get pixel-perfect games originally made for the Atari, Intellivision, NES, or arcades. It's funny how that works.
